Chongqing is located at the junction of China's three major economic zones: the Silk Road Economic Belt, the China-Indochina Peninsula Economic Corridor, and the Yangtze River Economic Belt. With the construction of the Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe International Railway, Chongqing has become an important location connecting three vast economic agglomerations: Europe, the Asia Pacific region, and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. The organizers plan to expand into the western Chinese market and investigate the local business environment along with the exhibitors, in a move to provide unprecedented demonstration and exchange opportunities for both Chinese and international companies seeking to expand into the Chinese market.
